	“Despite the commonness of stasis, there is little consensus about its cause or causes.” — Gene Hunt Department of Paleobiology, National Museum of Natural History, “The relative importance of directional change, random walks, and stasis in the evolution of fossils lineages,” Smithsonian Institute, published in PNAS, November 20, 2007, vol. 104, #47.

Stasis

Why don't we see just ONE isolated population making a break for it and evolving some entirely new feature? Instead of searching for fossils, shouldn’t we be able to point to at least ONE true transitional or intermediate form that actually displays a partially formed NEW bone growing, new appendage beginning, or new valve forming?
(Refer to cecal valves on the bottom of http://www.whoisyourcreator.com/genetics.html)

If evolution is true, everything should be in perpetual state of transition and we should see a hodge-podge of everything - No defined trees, flowers, insects, fish, amphibians, mammals, birds, etc. By evolution’s own definition, changes should be continually creating something beyond just another specie … otherwise how does evolution work?
(Refer to http://www.whoisyourcreator.com/how_does_evolution_occur.html)

Evolutionists claim that incremental changes are so miniscule that we could never identify some new feature evolving. But how does evolution proceed without visible changes?

Regardless of how miniscule incremental changes are, at some point in a transition that continues beyond speciation (1/10, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or 9/10 through it), wouldn’t things start to look a little odd? Do feathers immediately change from fur or skin and does a mouth instantly change into a beak?

After all, if evolution is still occurring around us, what are the chances that the features we see in organisms today would be identical to new features that would be emerging now? Wouldn’t new organisms and features pop up once in a while?

Why are some organisms that exist today virtually no different from fossils of organisms dating up to 450-million-years-old? What would stop one organism from change and then allow unlimited change in another?

Evolutionists have an answer for this that is called ‘stasis.’
http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/ridley/a-z/Stasis.asp

Evolutionists refer to the term, ‘stasis’ for this phenomenon, which infers that NO change has occurred over time.

Stasis supposedly occurs when terrains, climate change, and the filling of niches inhibit evolution somehow forcing organisms not to change.

But, since climate change is perpetual and many species are dying off or are ‘endangered,’ we should see a plethora of new organisms coming forward to fill all those empty niches.

Stasis is an observation, not a theory backed up by empirical science.

	"Major questions posed by zoologists cannot be answered from inside the neo-Darwinian straitjacket. Such questions include, for example, 'How do new structures arise in evolution?' 'Why, given so much environmental change, is stasis so prevalent in evolution as seen in the fossil record?' 'How did one group of organisms or set of macromolecules evolve from another?' The importance of these questions is not at issue; it is just that neo-Darwinians, restricted by their presuppositions, cannot answer them." —Lynn Margulis Professor of Microbial Evolution and Organelle Heredity, University of Massachusetts and Dorian Sagan, write - 1997.
